Is it that we feel that we shouldn't pay for love or that everything in life should be free?

I was once chatting to a friend who had recently embarked on online dating and the way he put it was this: She said how she would spend so much a month on her gym subscription, so much on Sky and so on, I forget the other leisure things she was paying for.

She then said how foolish it would be to expect to get the best from a free dating site when there were other, more professional and safer ones that cost less than any one of her other subscriptions!

The other main reason is that romance scammers are getting much wiser and more 'professional' so dating sites need a much more effective and highly trained support team which the free dating sites simply cannot afford.

We all like to get things for free but with something as important as your love, future and security, it seems it is worth paying a little.
